Family portrait takers, tour guides and social media influencers are running out of time to photograph the final days of the best season of fall colors in northern Illinois in years, experts say.
Fall colors burst from trees at Burnham Park’s Promontory Point in Chicago's East Hyde Park neighborhood on Oct. 20, 2022.
“There’s a world of variability in fall color,” said David Griffith, district forester for the northeastern counties with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. “It’s still up in the air, things are looking good right now, though. We’ve been getting some late summer rains ... so far so good.
Recently, Illinois has had consecutive years of subpar fall colors tied to a 2012 drought that ravaged the Midwest and continues to wreak havoc on trees.
